take for instance, the story of mark sanford. this whole story broke a few years ago and there was immediate pressure for him to step down as governor. he did not. when he left office, the poll in south carolina, we're not nuts about voting for the guy in the future. his unfavorable rating was fairly high. but if you look at his job approval number, overall, it was very strong among republicans and i think it might be one of the reasons why he is in a decent position today. we've seen, you contrast that with anthony weiner. we see stories every few months that he wants to come back and run for office in new york city. i think if he had just somehow just held on and weathered that storm as the story showed a few minutes ago, the storm does pass. nobody will ever forget it but it does pass. >> i think the key isn't quite letting the storm pass but it is being a really good retail politician. and if people in your district, the state, really, really like you, then they'll let you do a lot of things. you can get away with a lot of th
